lump sulphur

The majority of sulfur that is transported around the world is done as a bulk solid. The sulfur is often stored in the open in huge stockpiles at terminals ready to be loaded onto ships, railcars or truck or at plant sites to be melted and used in the production of sulfuric acid. Most sulfur stockpiles are located outdoors in open where it is exposed to wind, rain, dust, salt air, etc. In some cases sulfur is stored indoors where some protection from the elements is available.

Bulk sulfur produced from sulfur that has been crushed from larger pieces will be irregular in shape and posses many sharp edges and points which will be easily broken producing smaller particles and dust.

The properties of solid elemental sulfur leave a lot to be desired from the point of view of handling and transport. Since it is by no means always Practical to move sulfur around in the molten form, the sulfur industry has expended a considerable amount of effort over the years on developing methods of forming sulfur into regularly-sized particles which can be handled without giving rise to excessive amounts of dust.

Production statistics show that the Iran supply volume of sulfur was reached to 1.7 million tons in the end of 2006. Near to 660.000 t/a of total production was produced in khangiran and all oil refineries.

Currently and mostly in the future, Shout Pars Field is and will be one of the major sources of sulfur production in Iran. Running the development plans of this field will lead to increasing of sulfur production. For example starting up of the phases 9, 10 will add 400 t/d sulfur production capacity. Each of other phases such as 15,16,17,18 will add 400 t/d sulfur production of Iran.

Sulphur produced from any process at the Gas / Oil refineries is of the same basic elemental constituent. The forms may differ as the “End Recovery Process” for separation are different. Lumps, Powder Sulphur and Granular Sulphurs are described below with our expertise in the Sourcing, Packing, Logistics and Shipping.

Lumps Sulphur. Oil and natural gas are abundant in Iran. Iran Oil and Gas is one of the prime industries in the energy sector.

Sulphur is produced as a by-product, separated from the delivery lines and shipped by railway wagons to the warehouse for bagging. Agro Trade has developed its own Loading, Testing, Logistics and Transport facilities. The loading of each cargo is closely monitored by Geo-Chem Inspection and SGS personnel on site in Iran.

Large Lumps are crushed into smaller sizes and bagged via automatic weighing and filling unit. Containerised, inspected and tested Sulphur cargo is dispatched by trucks from Refinery and Petrochemicals Trade warehouse directly to the Port Of Bandar Abbas (Transit Point). Export Documentation and Vessel loading is completed at Transit area for various destinations with the Certificate of Origin of Iran or Dubai. Sulphur from Iran is currently being shipped to China, Pakistan, Turkey, China, Bangladesh and etc.
